From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311 BuildID: 2002031104 right-click on an image that is also a linkwill open a context menu with duplicate hot-key assignment for 3 of it's items: Save page _a_s Save link _a_s S_a_ve image as pressing "a" in this case will always activate the first (Save page as) If image has no link, context menu also has a duplicate hotkey assignment: Save page _a_s S_a_ve image as pressing "a" will save page. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.right click on an image 2.if image has links, "a" is hotkey in that menu for 3 items. if image doesn't have a link, "a" is hotkey for 2 items. 3. Actual Results: pressing "a" will always activate first item with it as hotkey. Expected Results: Each menu item should have it's own hotkey. Even if for menubar menus some hotkeys may be assigned in duplicate, it's not advisable for context menu. The worst change Netscape suffered between versions 3 and 4 was assigning "n" as hot key in context menu for a link to both "Open in new window" and "Copy link location" Also, such duplicates if completely unavoidable, then pressing the hotkey should cycle the selection of the items, not activate the first one (what's the point in having it assigned multiple times then?)

Already fixed - try a more recent build.
I'd like to suggest a choice of hotkey assignments for the context menu on links and on images and images with links more consistent with previous Netscape versions. Yes, at changed a lot from NS3 to NS4 (more options added), but it also changed a lot from NS4 to Mozilla, and since I first tried out Mozilla, it already changed several times in Mozilla too. It's really hard to keep up with learning the new hotkeys every time a new milestone release appears.
